The top 4 batting is awesome but there's 3 left arm spinners and you can't have 5 overseas players.

This squad is predicated in the fact of the picking rules and stipulations ain’t a constraint.

Honestly this is the strongest PSL squad. Covers all grounds extremely well. A side capable of posting 200 plus and chasing 200 plus. Although I doubt many sides would score 200 plus against this bowling battery.
 
Faisalabad Assassins xi

Imran Nazir
Shahid Afridi
Ab de Villiers
Umar Akmal (wk)
Shoaib Malik
Abdul Razzaq
Dwayne Bravo
Sunil Narine

Don’t think you’ll find a better team than this. 9 power hitters, 2 extreme pace bowlers, 3 quality spinners, 2 medium pacers.

So we see a lot of complaints that franchises don't pick youngsters in the playing XI and the likes of Zeeshan Malik, Hasan Mohsin et al are all unfairly excluded, but only one poster in this thread has some emerging players in their XI. And this is just for fun. So how can you expect franchises to select them when they actually have real dollars invested? Sadaf Hussain and Mir Hamza can't even get to a paper PSL squad on PakPassion and people expect them to be a part of the real PSL. :P
